Super Tricky Throw skill using Blizz ABS 1.99

Hey everyone. <-- NOOB SCRIPTER!

I'm using Blizz' ABS 1.99.  I'm working on the skills for my vamp game and I decided that no vampire is complete without super human strength, which means that a throw skill would fit in perfectly within his arsenal of deadly tricks.

However;  I'd like the skill to, of course, knock back the enemy two spaces, and knock back the enemy three if the player's strength is above a certain number.  This seemed easy enough to do, except that I have no idea how to script this.  If it CAN be done with events, I'd definitely prefer it since I usually end up with countless errors when I start trying to pretend I can script.

So far, I have a skill [throw] that stuns the target and does a small amount of damage.  It also plays a simple animation I've made. 
Next, considering that the only way to activate an enemy's event is to kill it, I can't use any event systems within my enemies unless there's a way around that. 

So basically what I'm asking for is a way to activate an event using a script that is triggered from the skill.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  If this is confusing or if you need any more information, please let me know. 

P.S.  I'm using XP in case someone isn't familiar with Blizz' ABS.  Thanks again!
